Chapter 141: The Great Heist (2)
More than a dozen armed gangsters gathered more than 200 guests in the middle of the hall, and the four of us were also mixed in the crowd.
Everyone was ordered to gather together, with their heads in their hands, and squatted on the ground. And in the crowd, there were some uniformed security guards, some tried to resist, but were immediately knocked to the ground, and then the rest of the security guards were all carried out alone, and these people also carried some equipment?? Although no firearms were worn on this occasion, the security guards' bodies, walkie-talkies, and all other equipment, as well as some jǐng sticks and the like, were put away. The security guards were then ordered to crouch down in a row facing the wall, lying on the wall with their hands.
Some of the ladies began to weep quietly, but in the face of the cold-faced bandits, these cries had no effect.
There are two film company investors squatting next to me, and there are two famous Hollywood male stars behind the left, one of whom often plays "superheroes" on the big screen, and they are all obediently squatting on the ground at the moment, although there is obvious anger in their eyes, but they dare not move.
"Oh, dear distinguished guests." The leader of the bandits was still dressed in the white sè attendant costume, but this man was calm and always with a peculiar composure, which was a little unexpected for someone who did such a big thing. Because of his men. Although everyone was cold, it was obvious that they were also nervous from the look in their eyes.
And this man ...... His eyes are very calm.
Could it be......
I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart.
After a minute. Three people walked in through the side doors on either side again, this time three white, all the same ones I had just seen them kill in the makeshift kitchen. The three men walked in, first replacing the plastic-shelled pistol in their hands with a real guy, and then one of them smiled at the leader and said, "Hey, it looks like you're in good control." ”
The leader glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "Dear Jack, what's going on down there?" ”
"All the best." The guy named Jack grinned, and then he suddenly tugged at his hair. Lifted his hair up and threw it on the ground, it turned out that this guy was wearing a wig, revealing his bald head: "Oh. With this thing, it's suffocating. ”
"Oh, Jack, the floor down there are some of our biggest female stars in Hollywood right now, you have to treat them well...... Those people are our first barrier. Also the best hostages. The leader shrugged his shoulders: "Set up the network." ”
His men dragged a few items from the dining cart that looked like laptop parts, and began to nervously assemble them, complete with cameras. A minute later, it was a laptop. The leader took the headset and walkie-talkie and said a few words, then nodded.
After the laptop was turned on, the screen flickered, but there was no image, and the leader said lightly: "Be careful, these are satellite-connected ground instruments, which are very expensive." ”
"Oh, for us after tonight. It's not expensive. White Jack licked his lips and glanced greedily at the jewels on the clear glass display.
"It's connected!" One of the subordinates said something loudly, and sure enough, the computer screen flickered, and a picture appeared, and the picture began to be a little ghostly and blurry, but it soon became clear.
"Hey!" The leader walked in front of the screen.
I squatted at the right angle to see the screen from the side, and the scene on the screen was probably the first floor below us.
The ground floor downstairs was also rented by the organizer of the exhibition tonight. According to the plan, some of Hollywood's biggest female stars who were specially invited tonight, as well as some makeup artists, some models, some fashion designers, and staff, all rested on the downstairs floor. Ready to wait for tonight's showcase, will be directly upstairs through the main elevator, the main elevator faces the display stand in the hall, according to the plan, those invited biggest female stars, and some supermodels, will wear some of the world's top brands of the latest fashion into the main venue, first some fashion show, and then the scene in the display of those precious jewelry.
Legend has it that the world's most expensive dress, worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, woven from diamonds, will be worn by a Hollywood actress on the spot...... And for the sake of a gimmick, who will wear that dress has not been announced to the public.
The top floor where we are located is the 62nd floor, and the 61st floor below is used as a lounge and make-up area.
But now from the screen, it seems that the sixty-first floor downstairs is also controlled by these armed bandits! Because looking at the screen, a big man with long hair and a beard said "ok" to the screen expressionlessly.
On the screen, there is a shadow behind him, and as in our place, I see a lot of people crouching on the ground and gathering together, and there are armed men next to them.
"Alright, do your job, Okan." The leader smiled faintly, then left the computer screen and glanced at his subordinates: "Now, we can report jǐng." Turn off the cell phone signal blocking device outside. ”
He walked up to us with a soft smile on his face, as if he were a cultured guest, and smiled softly: "Oh, sorry, which one of you can lend me a cell phone?" ”
He said so politely, but three of his men immediately gathered around, and they took out a pocket and searched each guest's phone one by one.
"I hope you will cooperate a little, and it is better to hand over your phone obediently, otherwise, I am afraid that my subordinates will do some rude actions."
Under this seemingly mild intimidation, everyone handed over their phones, and although many were reluctant, after hesitation, they complied. The bandit with the pocket walked up to us, I didn't move, and Jessica looked at me helplessly, I nodded, and she reluctantly threw her phone into the pocket.
Soon, the pockets of the three gangsters were filled with all kinds of expensive new mobile phones.
"Okay, now, let's have a good talk with Jǐng Fang." The leader's faint words made the white man named Jack immediately change: "Lamouche! Are you kidding me! We're in control now! You should grab the jewelry and leave! And then by the way, take a dozen of the richest people here as hostages!! That's our plan! ”
I learned then that the chief's name was Lamouchi, and it seemed to be a standard Middle Eastern name.
Lamouche looked at Jack with a look of pity, and then sighed faintly, "My dear friend, do you want to take the jewels?" Well, I'll show you ......"
He suddenly raised his pistol and aimed it at me very casually, at Yang Wei beside me!
To be precise, it is a display shelf in front of Yang Wei! And Yang Wei happened to squat behind a square glass cabinet with a huge diamond necklace inside......
I was startled, instinctively, I moved forward, quickly pulled Yang Wei behind me, and blocked her in front of her with my own body.
Bang!!
Bang bang!!
With the frightened screams of many guests, after three consecutive gunshots, my scalp was numb, and I couldn't help but close my eyes in the face of the muzzle of the gun that was being fired at me...... But then Yang Wei gently pulled me from behind, I felt her hand stuffed into my palm, pinched me hard, I opened my eyes, Yang Wei was looking at me with a complicated gaze, seemed to be a little excited and grateful.
And in front of me, the glassy cabinet with the diamonds that stood between me and Lamouche did not damage half a cent!
Even, after the bullet shè hit, there was not a trace of bullet marks! The glass surface is still smooth!!
"See?" Lamouci looked at me, intentionally or unconsciously, presumably attracted by my instinctive move in front of the lady, but then he quickly turned his gaze to the white man named Jack: "See?" This is the best bulletproof and explosion-proof Boli!! Not to mention using bullets, even if you have a bazooka in your hand, you can't break it! ”
"Hell!" Jack was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed up like crazy, picked up the microphone shelf on the table, walked to the nearest glass cabinet to him, and smashed it hard. He ping-pong smashed it several times, but the glass cabinet was really intact, so he scolded helplessly: "**!! ”
Then the guy glared at Lamouche angrily: "Didn't you calculate this a long time ago!" But this was not the case with our previous plan! ”
"Plans always change." Lamuchi said lightly. Although his tone was very light, he carried an unquestionable momentum.
The white man, Jack, was visibly annoyed, and the other two white men around him were equally dissatisfied, and the three of them stood together......
